Apologies for the delay, but I've finally processed, edited and uploaded video of Bishop Tod Brown's press conference, held following the initial contempt hearing on Tuesday.
First up is Diocesan attorney Peter Callahan:
Then Bishop Brown steps up to extend his apology to the victims:
The subject of Monsignor Urell comes up:
Victim Sarah Gray asks Mr. Callahan a question and gets a rude brushback from Callahan:
Bishop Brown answers questions on where the money to pay the settlement will come from, and victim Christina Ruiz asks why the $100,000 to pay the settlement with Jeff Andrade come from, followed by another apology from the Bishop.
Bishop Tod Brown needs to step down as our Bishop now! I do not even want him to retire. I want him gone and on his own. McFarland should be shown the same door. I do not want to pay for him for the rest of his life. McFarland and Brown are embarrassments to my faith and my church and school. Bring my Msgr. back please.

The victims here are so brave, and I thank them for coming forward.
